Show HN: Create Spotify playlists using ChatGPT (playlistgeniusai.com)
7 points by kgmodi 1172 days ago
Hello all,

This is my first submission on Hacker News. Recently, like many others, I've been playing around with ChatGPT APIs and have been impressed with the capabilities that have been unlocked through the APIs.

For example, ChatGPT could "recommend" me songs that can introduce me to different kinds of music - "Popular American music from the 90s" or "Classical Indian music" or "Songs that have won the Original Song Award at the Oscars." Or you could even ask for "early morning CrossFit workout music."

So instead of adding these recommendations manually, I integrated ChatGPT responses with Spotify APIs to make a public playlist. That is the idea behind https://www.playlistgenius.com - Create playlists using ChatGPT recommendations.

I am no expert on the correctness of the recommendations, and some of these playlists may already be available on Spotify (curated by humans). However, the capability of expressing user intent in human language for such use cases excites me.

There are limitations to the recommendations. For example, music data after 2021 is almost absent in the recommendations due to the training data cut off for version 3.5.

There are some known issues in the implementation too that I need to work on. For example - sometimes a song may be added more than once in the same playlist.

Please give www.playlistgeniusai.com a try.

I would appreciate any general or specific feedback on this app as I start work on integrating feedback (support for other service providers like YT music, etc.), fixing bugs, and releasing the next version.

Very cool! I think it would be nice if eventually it could get access to your spotify data somehow and improve results by knowing what you like to listen to/listen most to.
@arco1991 - thank you for your response and feedback. I agree it would be cool to understand the user's Spotify tastes and tailor the playlist according to that. However, I consider that use case as Personalization use case versus Recommendations. For now, I am focused to get the recommendations right based on the description of the playlist.
Very cool idea and launch!
Thank you @slawr1805
Nice idea!
thanks. Let me know if there any feedback.
